Fear of future workplace violence has adverse effects on nurses' health outcomes. However, the association between fear of future workplace violence and burnout among nurses in China remains unknown.
Enrolled in the study were 1897 nurses from 12 tertiary hospitals of Shandong Province, China. Fear of future workplace violence was measured using the Fear of Future Violence at Work scale. Burnout was measured using the 15-item Maslach Burnout Service Inventory. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between fear of future workplace violence and burnout.
The prevalence of high emotional exhaustion, high cynicism, and low personal accomplishment was 26.7%, 38.1%, and 35.6%, respectively, while 72.9% of participants had high levels of fear of future workplace violence. Among nurses, compared with high levels of fear of future workplace violence, low levels of fear were associated with a lower degree of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and personal accomplishment; and medium levels of fear were associated with a lower degree of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and a higher degree of personal accomplishment.
This was a cross-sectional study, which could not establish the causal relationship between fear of future workplace violence and burnout.
There was a significant association between fear of future workplace violence and burnout among nurses. Fear of future workplace violence should be regarded as important issue for hospital administrators and healthcare policy makers when taking measures to ameliorate nurses' burnout.
对未来工作场所暴力的恐惧对护士的健康结果有不良影响。然而，中国护士对未来工作场所暴力的恐惧与倦怠之间的关系尚不清楚。
本研究纳入了来自中国山东省 12 家三级医院的 1897 名护士。使用未来工作场所暴力恐惧量表测量对未来工作场所暴力的恐惧。采用 15 项 Maslach 职业倦怠量表测量倦怠。使用有序逻辑回归分析来检验对未来工作场所暴力的恐惧与倦怠之间的关系。
高情绪耗竭、高愤世嫉俗和低个人成就感的患病率分别为 26.7%、38.1%和 35.6%，而 72.9%的参与者对未来工作场所暴力的恐惧程度较高。与高恐惧水平相比，护士中低恐惧水平与较低的情绪耗竭、愤世嫉俗和个人成就感有关，而中等恐惧水平与较低的情绪耗竭、愤世嫉俗和较高的个人成就感有关。
这是一项横断面研究，不能建立对未来工作场所暴力的恐惧与倦怠之间的因果关系。
对未来工作场所暴力的恐惧与护士的倦怠之间存在显著关联。当采取措施改善护士倦怠时，未来工作场所暴力的恐惧应被视为医院管理者和医疗保健政策制定者的重要问题。
